Author Shelley Moore Thomas and photographer Eric Futran have created a picture book that is both simple and profound. Juxtaposed against photos of kids playing, celebrating, engaging in ordinary activities with friends and family, are the words "somewhere today" and a description of what is happening. The book begins with "Somewhere today...someone is being a friend instead of fighting" and ends with "maybe it is you." And great read-aloud for small children and a loving adult or for teachers and group of preschoolers or 5-8 year olds. It will spark lively discussions of other ways kids do peacemaking.
